An estimated one million people are gathering in Paris on Sunday to honor those who were killed this week in attacks in the French capital, including on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket.
I had a 12-minute chat with BBC West Midlands on Saturday about their question, “How should we now react to terrorism?”

You can live in fear, looking over your shoulder all the time, or you can look forward and say, “We are going to deal with the cause of this violence — through dialogue, through conversation — rather than just being scared of what moves around us.”
The discussion includes thoughts on security, travel — the presenter asks, “Would you go to Paris now?” — and why we have reacted differently to the mass killing in France (clues include race, ethnicity, religion, as well as “terrorism”) than those in the US.
